Proposals And Tenders “His Majesty is unavailable at the present time, Minister Georgenson.” Pagan willed the minister to depart without further incident. He was not inclined to regret his choice in arranging Milliardo’s secret departure from Sanc. The man had needed some space and this particular day Milliardo Peacecraft needed to be Zechs Marquise. He had had Helen Butterworth buzzing like an enraged hornet over the ‘abduction’ of her charge. It was rather amusing that the nurse was not bothered by the King’s departure; such was dismissed with a quiet ‘Well it is about time the man had some time to grieve’, but the Crown Prince, it appeared, should not have been taken anywhere without his adoring Nanny. “There is a deadline of three p.m. on these papers. The King must be brought up to speed so that they might be signed.” “I am sure the papers are important, sir, however, the King is in conference and can not be disturbed.” Not much slipped past the old man and he knew of the dealings of the consortium this man was involved in, against Parliamentary protocols. People would eventually learn the King would not be forced into signing anything he had not thoroughly investigated first and begin to submit their proposals and tenders in good time. Those who sought to profit from Crown sponsored building projects without submitting fair and honest estimates of costings and times would be overlooked. Milliardo had no intentions of granting contracts to those who sought to line their own pockets and would leave a shoddily constructed monument to stupidity and greed in their wake. Sanc, in his opinion, deserved more. “I suggest you leave the papers with his secretary for his perusal at the first opportunity, though such might not be before your deadline.” “This is outrageous!” “Indeed, sir. There are many who demand the King’s attention and it often pays to arrange an appointment. He is rarely free for impromptu interviews.” “Well… I need to speak with Chang Wu Fei then. The liaison to Parliament was absent from his office earlier.” “I am afraid Mr. Chang is unavailable, sir. He is attending to a matter of extreme importance.” “Off humping the King, is he?” The sneered comment was low and fierce and Pagan remained unmoved to the outward eye. It appeared many people had an idea of the certain regard Chang held for the King. He would need to look into the situation and judge if action would need to be taken. “I really would not know, Minister, however I have heard no strange sounds from linen cupboards or dark corners this morning. I would, however, recommend you refrain from making such comments in future. It is unbecoming of a Minister of the Crown and I am certain His Majesty would not be amused should he chance to learn of it.” End ~ * ~ |
